    April 2019 at Gramborough

    Thanks for information about Gramborough Hill. I reckon it visits the site very occasionally & could stay a while if not disturbed. Any birders wandering & staying on site is not helpful although a single observer testing the habitat during the day could work. Birders need to observe from Meadow...

    2017 Western Palearctic Big Year

    I came across the trio mid afternoon 19th on a windswept vast beach E of Calais in 30c. They were about the leave and drive to Stuttgart having been on site for a second day and failed to have seen ET. I understand they were going to fly to Spain and try for the ET pair.They also mentioned...

    The last time it was seen in the Blunt's Corner area TF889401 was Thursday @ 10:13. It was seen @ 3:50pm yesterday @ TF859385 E of North Creake and flew off towards Whin Hill.The reason it was looked for near the Creakes was due to a report it had been seen the previous afternoon in a stubble...

    I've just arrived back from Porthgwarra having spent 3 weeks away and the only thing on your list above I have seen is YBW irrespective of covering 9m a day and down there they have elevation which I suppose saves going to the gym. The way things going this year I expect a major clear out...

    I would park @ the bottom of Greenway (N end) where there is parking for about 20+ cars which is adjacent to the campsite.The coastal track going west lis very muddy due to the number of birders who have been using it this week. The middle track/cocklestrand drove is the next best option but to...

    Quote....and a shot, in very low light, of Goldcrests using the upturned dustbin in the Dell as a bird-bath. I turned the bin over a while back after I found a dead Sparrowhawk which must have drowned in the water held in the bin.I imagine the Goldcrests are 'dancing on its grave' I saw a few...

    I was, however, rather surprised to see that the grass in the meadow south of the Dell had, again, been cut. Having visited the area for over 30 years I have never heard of a meadow south of the Dell? Could you please direct me to the meadow.

    Yes I would call it the baitdiggers track although I'm not aware that it is a public footpath. The track from the road running along the Fen I would call the' white bridges track...west of the fen'. The track from the thatched house on the hill does not appear to have a name but i would refer to...
